On the 15th anniversary of Real American hero Tim McVeigh's assault on the Socialist Security Building in Oklahoma City, the assault on reason, honesty, and decency by the FOX Fascist Borscht Belt entertainers -- the Becks, Cheneys, Gingrichs, Limbaughs, Murdochs, Palins, and Roves -- continues, because they make millions off the suckers who yearn for the return of a world where Real Americans, Good Germans, and the Cream of the Confederacy do not have to stifle their right to call a !@#$%^ a !@#$%^.
The suckers' attraction to this deadly entertainment is easy to understand -- who would not want to be born a prince, be born perfect, and live in a world where your every effortless whim is stamped with the (fascist) Almighty's approval?
You could watch trash TV all day, eat like a pig, and pray for global annihilation -- all without lifting a finger -- and still be perfect!
And all you have to do to appreciate your princely status -- the refinement bought by slavery, by holocaust, by the industrialization of hate and exploitation -- is gut your puny conscience and fill that meaningless cavity with the warmth of your inferiors' suffering, burning like a campfire in the wilderness, worshiped by fiends.
